It's been 40 years since the we last landed on the moon. In 20 years there will be no humans alive who actually set foot there. This is inexcusable. We need to return.
And frankly, I don't care if it's us or the Japanese or the Chinese or the Russians. Humanity needs to go back. And while I seriously doubt I will see it in my lifetime, from there we need to go to Mars.
And while we're at it – where are our damn flying cars?
Perhaps when the 'big news' from Mars is revealed, we will all be eager to go.
